Lemon (Official Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Heather Christian

Node Records (a division of the Music Sales Group) has released the official motion picture soundtrack for Janicza Bravo’s film Lemon, featuring original compositions by the Obie Award-winning composer and Music Sales artist Heather Christian. The Lemon soundtrack is available for purchase and streamingthrough all major music services including iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and Amazon.

Named a Sundance-favorite by Vogue, the comedy-drama film was acquired by Magnolia Pictures and released in theaters August 18th, 2017. Lemon stars Brett Gelman, Judy Greer, Gillian Jacobs and Michael Cera – all of whom can be heard on the soundtrack, which features excerpts of the film’s dialogue.

A longtime collaborator with director Janicza Bravo, Heather Christian has scored many of the director’s short films including Man Rots From the Head (2016), Woman in Deep (2016), Gregory Go Boom (2013), and Eat! (VICE Shorts, 2013).

When composing for Lemon,Christian told Amy Poehler’s Smart Girlsthat she “scored in three different directions simultaneously – to mimic the three ‘acts’ of the movie.” Her varied, whimsical instrumentation was inspired by the film’s characters, and the score even includes a vocal oratorio loosely set text from Chekhov’s play The Seagull.

“I am so thrilled and honored to share my first film soundtrack release for Lemon with Node Records,” Christian reflects. “I hope this is the first of many left-of-center film soundtrack releases I am lucky enough to thrust into the world. I hope it captures half of the bizarre joy it was made with.”
